Grenade. Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Who cares what's his sexuality is. The locker room should be worrying about is he good enough to make them better. He made it about his sexuality. No one asked him, no one prodded, and GMs/Coaches aren't allowed to inquire. Dude literally did this to himself and made it about his sexuality doing it right before the draft. That being said, his stock should rise. Who doesn't want to have the first openly gay NFL player on their team for PR? Its an immediately pile of money and views for your branding when this guy starts hitting commercials and speaking at events. If he succeeds its that much better for you as a GM and as a team At the same time no matter how mediocre to bad he performs you aren't going to be able to get rid of him without people crying it's because of his sexuality.

Oh definitely. Ethics through the roof there. Guy under performs and you bench him or release him? You're now a super villain in the world. Also, I know Nick Kasa was asked, but there is a rule in place that they aren't allowed to do so. Obviously we all know rules don't matter to a lot of people so I'm not surprised it happened. But I'm sure Michael Sam could have got away with it until after the draft. I think he may have knew what it would do for him PR wise, especially on the wake of the olympics junk going on where everyone has a hate boner for Russia being anti gay.

maskedmaniac Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I imagine if I was an athlete I would not want to shower naked with the rest of my teammates. Gay or straight, it would just be too weird for me. Not sure how it really is in the pros, but I think every individual shower is separated so guys are to themselves.

Lunchbox Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 So the biggest distraction could be Sams father who is having major problems with his son coming out. His father seems really *censored*ed up, took Sam's older brother to mexico to lose his cherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk-3:16 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The idea of drafting a felon is that they'll play a harder game of Football, especially on the defensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamthyst Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The Saints are cleaning house it looks like. Released Jabari Greer, Roman Harper, Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith, all key veteran players. Raiders have the toughest SOS (strength of schedule) again? Damn, they can't catch a break, Indy has the weakest. Though the SOS means nothing to me as teams build with FA and draft and you never know what will happen with them during the season.

Damn, they can't catch a break, Indy has the weakest. Though the SOS means nothing to me as teams build with FA and draft and you never know what will happen with them during the season. I always feel like is a slap in the face to teams like that. "Alright The Raiders aren't doing too great and didn't make the playoffs again. Give them the toughest schedule in the league, see if that helps them". Its like the coach telling that one nonathletic kid that he can't dunk because he's not believing hard enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soap Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Strength of schedule is pointless to base anything off of though tbh. It only gives you a small glimpse of how it'll be. Teams change from year to year. Like KC going 11-5 after being 2-14 and the Texans from a top team to 2-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still does suck for Oakland though As for the Saints it looks pretty bad, They are cutting all of those players for Jimmy Graham right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ömniscieɳce® Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Top WR free agents: Eric Decker Hakeem Nicks Julian Edelman Anquan Boldin Golden Tate Jeremy Maclin Riley Cooper I'd say give me Decker & Boldin. Maybe Tate for special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamthyst Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 There's no way that Denver could let Decker walk, NE let Edelman walk, etc. I think they're too valuable to their teams and they seem like priority signings.I want a guy like Maclin, Tate or Edelman on Indy. Great slot WRs and doesn't hurt to add depth at receiver. Though I am fine with the current WR core they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ömniscieɳce® Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 At least Oakland won playoff games during that time. It's been 24 years since the Bengals last won one. George H. W.

adamthyst Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 My team's playoff record is shit, lol, and we've got the Peyton shadow to overcome still, even though they're slowly casting out of it, but the last 2 years of it have been huge steps of eclipsing it.
